Product use: 6 months or more
Pros:
silver
easy to clean and use
Cons:
Does not heat evenly. Cooks mainly from the bottom up in the middle so top remains uncooked. eg a pumpkin half after 10 minutes on high needs to be turned over, turned around and cooked longer. My last microwave did not have this problem at all. Very disappointed.
Recommend it?
No, this product has too many drawbacks.

Pros:
Easy to use. No rotating table so square dishes can be used
Cons:
Started filling room with smoke. Hadn't been used since the previous day. There is a sticker on the back that says "checked for electrical safety" dated 7/1 2016. Not impressed.
